About Me
I live right here in Carlisle and focus exclusively on representing sellers in the 17013 and 17015 zip codes. Since starting my career in 2006, I have sold over $200,000,000 in real estate and earned more than 165 five-star reviews from sellers who value a smooth, expert-led process. I have been honored with many sales awards, including winning both the “Rising Star” and “Commercial Agent of the Year” awards in the same year. While I focus on residential listings today, my deep commercial background gives me a unique perspective on the big-picture market trends that impact your home’s value. I also serve in leadership roles for the Greater Harrisburg Association of REALTORS®, where I have spent multiple terms on the Board of Directors and chaired numerous committees. Outside of local sales, I coach and train real estate agents across the country and the world on how to market their listings for the best results.
My commitment to our community goes far beyond real estate as a volunteer firefighter at Union 41 and a former board president for the local REALTOR® Foundation. When I am not working for my clients, you will likely find me “half-living” at the Carlisle YMCA or riding my electric scooter and bike around town. To give your home a competitive edge, I use my professional SEO agency and my local news site, Awesome Carlisle, to ensure your property gets maximum visibility online. I combine this high-level digital strategy with the deep roots of a neighbor who understands the unique heartbeat of our neighborhoods. If you see me out on my scooter or at the Y, please say hello. I look forward to helping you with your next chapter right here in Carlisle!

“Derek was amazing to work with. He gave us great guidance on how to prep our home for sale, without spending more money than was needed. He was easy to work with, did a stellar job marketing our property & got us over asking price within 5 days. He was there for us throughout the process & did everything in his power to make sure the sale went through. We appreciated all that Derek did to help our house sell & get us into our forever home.“
